THE TUC is warning that raising the £1 million inheritance tax threshold would be “reckless in the extreme” after new polling found that just one person in five supports the idea.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is expected to include a pledge to reduce the scope of the wealth tax in the Conservative Party’s next election manifesto, potentially leading to its complete elimination.
But a TUC survey published today found that six in 10 people are against increasing the £1 million threshold for married couples, including 61 per cent of those who voted Tory in 2019.
